In the fall of 2023, he started this company to create a device that would help keep beaches clean while reducing the costs on those who have to maintain them. To gain a better understanding of the startup space, he interned at mHub in the summer of 2024 and worked with the Member Success Team. His skills lie on the interpersonal side of the business and include communication, strategic thinking, and empowerment. When not focused on making his startup dream a reality, Ryan enjoys being outdoors, playing or watching soccer, and cozying up with a great book.
